  • Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain 1 Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain
    Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain 1 Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain Founded 18 May 1940 Country United Kingdom, France Allegiance Polish government-in-exile Insignia Identification symbol Fin flash Aircraft flown Attack Caudron C.714, Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire The Polish Air Forces (Polskie Siły Powietrzne) was the name of the Polish Air Forces formed in France and the United Kingdom during World War II. The core of the Polish air units fighting alongside the Allies were experienced veterans of the 1939 Invasion of Poland. They contributed to the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain and most World War II air operations. A total of 145 Polish fighter pilots served in the RAF during the Battle of Britain, making up the largest non-British contribution.[1] By the end of the war, around 19,400 Poles were serving in the RAF.[2] History After the joint German-Soviet victory in the Invasion of Poland of 1939, most of the flying personnel and technicians of the Polish Air Force were evacuated to Romania and Hungary, after which thousands found their way to France. There, in accordance with the Franco-Polish Military Alliance of 1921 and the amendments of 1939, Polish Air Force units were to be re-created. However, the French headquarters was hesitant about creating large Polish air units, and instead most Polish pilots were attached to small units, so-called keys. Only one large unit was formed, the Groupe de Chasse polonaise I/145 stationed at Mions airfield.

  • Former RAF Coltishall Timeline
    Former RAF Coltishall Timeline Prehistoric and Roman Given the positioning of the airfield above the confluence of the River Bure and its tributaries it may be expected that the airfield would contain evidence of prehistoric activity. Two possible ring ditches – possible Bronze Age burial mounds - were recorded within the airfield, although these are far from certain. Later prehistoric and Roman Cropmarks in the arable land around the airfield indicate extensive later prehistoric and/or Roman co-axial field systems, enclosures and major boundaries, some of which are likely to continue into the airfield itself. There is evidence of a Roman settlement to the south. The line of a major Roman road, running from Denver on the fen edge to a Roman town at Brampton and then on to Wayford Bridge, Smallburgh, passes through the north side of the airfield. Medieval and later Faint cropmarks on the airfield appear to represent fields associated with the former farmstead of Batley Green and the linear common or moor “Scottow Moor” as shown on the 1 st Edition Ordnance Survey map (1889-1891). This feature may have been incorporated into the designed landscape around Scottow Hall. 1938 Plans for an airfield were announced, to be built on a large flat potato field. 1939 “Expansion Period” Standard Function airfield built as a bomber base. There were plans for six hangars (although one was destroyed during construction and the sixth never built), a perimeter track and grass flying field. Initially called “Scottow”, it was later called “Coltishall” after the second-nearest railway station. Buxton was closer, but that might have been confused with Buxton in Derbyshire.

  • The Co Clare War Dead Individual Profiles WW2
    Clare in WW2 / The Emergency The Co Clare War Dead Individual Profiles WW2 D Day 1944 - The 2nd US Rangers By Ger Browne The aim of this project is to find out how many men and women from Clare took part in WW2, and the effect of the war on Clare. It is hoped that an extension will be added to the Great War Memorial in Ennis that will include the names of the Clare War Dead from WW2 / The Emergency. At the moment we know that 86 died from Clare as well as in Clare. I would like to thank Keir McNamara, and his late father Peadar McNamara for all their research on WW1 and WW2. Eric Shaw, who has been providing me with amazing WW1 and WW2 information for years, and all the following who have helped make this project possible. Paddy Waldron, The Local Studies Centre, Peter Beirne, Brian Doyle, Guss O’Halloran, Sean Glennon, Jim Molohan, Joe Ó Muircheartaigh, Eddie Lough, Local Parish Booklets, The Clare Champion and The Clare People. I have also named the sources, with many of the names below. I thank them all. The following websites: findagrave website, ancestry.com, fold3.com, http://www.ww2irishaviation.com, and the Commonwealth War Grave Commission. Finally thanks to the Clare Library for publishing all the information, and Larry and James Brennan along with the Clare Roots Society, for all their help. 1 Trooper Martin Barry Trooper Martin Barry: Kilrush. 18th (5th Bn.
